If you are looking at getting a special 90 cm dishwasher they might not even have them at PD, 90cm is not standard at all and if you want a specific 90 cm then you need to talk to Kitchen culture to make a wide enough cavity, don't do it though until you know exactly what dishwasher you want, I think there might be just 1 or 2 90 cm dishwashers in Australia. But if you are looking for a better 60cm dishwasher than what they are offering you, like me, just ask for a refund on the standard dishwasher (it was $500 for me) and buy a good one when you move in. I bought an amazing one from the good guys, would have probably paid twice as much for the same thing to PD. Other than dishwasher you can definitely upgrade any appliance that they offer you as standard.

We have Hebel up now, it wasn't there thursday lunchtime so I'm assuming they must have got the delivery and had it all installed on friday. Nice and quick! Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ ShareLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Share

Thanks Naama! We know it's still a long way to go but we're very happy to be making progress!

For those who have gone in for insulation of all internal walls and are doing most of the electrical work post handover, did you (your electrician) encounter issues in installing cables for power points and electrical switches?

Wondering how the cables will be run post handover if all internal walls are insulated.

i think i would be difficult downstairs (read imposible) and ok upstairs as you can go through the roof. in our case we only have insulation on outside walls for this reason.you have 2 potential problems. the insulation and the uprights in the way.

please find a photo from our kitchen wall insulated before plaster as you see theres no room for anything in there. I hope it helps. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Share

Thanks. I was worried about insulation being a obstruction to the cabling later on. I am building a single storey house with the hope of saving some coin by doing electricals later on. Looks like that's not going to be the case:-(

Are they simplicity Nero tiles ? Looks amazing. I was told at my WOS that PD wont do tiling for Alfresco and Porch . Only to Terrace area though.

We got Simplicity Dark Grey to Balcony and Terrace at no extra cost and Simplicity Nero to Porch for $638. They asked if we wanted Alfresco at an extra cost but we declined and will have decking instead. This was the convo with the National Tiles consultant.
